Cavs vs Nets

[CLEbland]

The refs were bad; but equally bad for both teams. the TT hip check call was terrible, but Early Clark probably went over the back on that crucial ORB. There were quite a few bad calls throughout the game on both sides IMO.

Agreed - Refs looked a bit shaky and scared to miss a call. I still don't know what to think about Earl Clark. I don't think I like him putting the ball on the floor though...

Wathcing Cavs Nets game (DVR'd it), during pre-game they showed Bynum working on post moves, was that the Ukraine Train Vitaly Potapenko working him out?

I tried looking up Cavs coaching staff but couldn't find his name on staff.

Just curious cause I used to like that guy.

Congrats on Bynum and the win, good luck and appreciate the answer in advance.

I didn't notice, but I'm pretty sure that Potapenko and Z are both part of the Cavs coaching staff. Yes he is

Yes Vitaly is on the Cavaliers' staff.

I beliee they brought him on just before the 2013 draft because I remember speculating that it might be an indication of their interest in fellow Ukrainian Alex Len.

That's what I thought, that was a tough hard nosed guy who'll definitely get Bynum used to a big body leaning on him during the season.

Thanks guys.

Dang, just read link Cavs drafted Vitaly #12 and took Big Z #20 in the '96 draft....who knew?!?

Yeah, the refs were bad both ways. Was watching the game with my 12 yr old daughter (who plays hoops) and the Kyrie foul that went against Brooklyn then was changed was hilarious, we were both laughing out loud at Lopez' (warranted) reaction.
